Catchy Commercials

I enjoy witty humor. Smart and funny advertisements are some of the few things that I look forward too every time I turn on the t.v. The development of advertising antics has greatly progress since the days where Campbell soups are still printed in sepia toned fliers. With the advancement of globalization and technology, it is not impossible to see digitized talking baby apes on punk baby clothes in a 3D TV commercial. It is really amazing that what man used to  imagine is now taking form in the means of film and digital effects. The analog world in the industry of advertising has now remained as a subject of advertising history 101. Since man is mostly persuaded with what they see instead of what was just heard, creative and advance advertisements can really turn out as something catchy. Despite of my dislike in spending too much time watching TV, the current commercials nowadays has not excluded me from its enticing and persuasive antics.

Bending Little

Patience was never an easy word. When do you say that you've had enough? For many years I have always tried to be as understanding and patient to the people that would always run short of sensitivity. My doctor actually told me to stay away from people who are loud and impatient, as these are the common character that would test my tolerance. I take my pills regularly, do enough exercise, and see to it that I'm having enough sleep to condition my heart and brain for another stressful day at work. However, as much as I want to keep quiet and understand others insensitivity, some would still trigger and pound you hard like a hammer. It's as if they are born in this world to annoy people and make other's lives miserable. So again, if you are your life's disc jock and no one's dancing to the music you're playing, when do you pack you vinyl bags and leave the dance floor?

The Heart of a Gypsy

Many things come with the sun. When summer strikes, everyone's status updates on social networking sites are trending about the best beaches or their perfect travel safaris. Some are blogging about their amazing charter flights from New York or their quick southeast Asia backpacking. This only has come to prove that humans are initially nomad travelers. I often wonder what it was like back in the old world when the all the earth's continent can be traveled by foot. Imagined doing cross country from Japan to the United States on a sustainable trailer bus. This statuses always reminded me of my curiosity to move and live from one place to another. Home is actually in our hearts, so no matter where we are in the world we could always be home. Snapping back to reality, I am long away from being able to afford such trips and travel. Because of this, I guess I'll have to do traveling through other people's travel updates.

Room Service

I always want to do something productive everyday. I have finished the monthly general cleaning of my room. This is something that benefits me both physically and emotionally. You see cleaning your room is not actually just about tidying things up. It is also about evaluating and looking back at your self for the past months. After collecting a whole rim of assorted papers that deserve paper shredding services, I have realized and discovered things about myself. It is very therapeutic and helpful, because you get to see your life's mess in a month. When I was little the chore of cleaning my room has always been the thing that I hate. But as I grew up I learned to appreciate its value. On a second thought, you could always looked at it as a routine to the gym or your dietitian's check-up. As much as we put effort in detoxifying our body, the same perspective applies to the room cleaning chore. We are what we lived in.

Reap and Sow

Most are never thankful. I have stand along the perspective of always getting what we always do. I cannot understand why people can be very self-fish and self-righteous at the same time despite the goodness that was shown to them by other people. A common example is when one looks for a job but once he or she is hired by certain accommodating companies such as paper shredding companies, given a few months and that person begins to slack off and quit. He or she may reason about many things he or she dislikes about the company. What that person forgets is his or her purpose of applying for a job in the first place. This is a common trait that I see in most of my peers and perhaps most of my country men. Perhaps this is the reason why we remain poor and unsuccessful when in terms to the quality of our lives because of our practice. Again, we always get what we always do in the first place.

Press the Red Button

We all love everything fast. This the world of automatics and we are automatic people. Everything in this world seems to circulate around a press of a button. Automation is thought by many to be their salvation from labor. This has come to a point that work imposing human service as pricey.  We can do everything in an automatic mode. From driving to washing the dishes and paper shredding in the office. But as technology of automation prosper, do we really want it to rule over our capacity as human beings? Automation implies duality because it both free us from labor yet make us dependent to the quickness of all things. As much as we want to make everything fast, the world always need enough, if not, more time. This is the basic concept that has been compromise upon the creation of automation. Because human beings are from the earth and the earth's creation is a product of time, then it is rightful to give a second thought if you'd really want the world to go auto.

Class Ends

Graduation hats are on the air. This is the season of finishing the goal and achieving the conquest. March does not just mean summer for most Filipinos. It is also the month of graduates. May it be from a medicine school, law studies, or training for helicopter cpl, most are graduating this month. My parents once told me that education is the only thing that can never be stolen by anybody. Since I was young, I am always reminded to study hard and finish school. I am never the smartest neither a dumb student but I have always managed to be good at something. On this time of the year I am always reminded of my good old days being a student. This is the time where everything is always a good ending and a good beginning. And because it is already March, I am sure that once again something has to end and a new thing has yet to begin.
